I took these with my phone.
I think she has found an early love for dogs. Today we went to grammy's house and Dilana was so excited to see Bandit. She hasn't had much exposure to dogs so she was pretty amused...

Feeding Time
So she's got teeth now, and has learned how to clap. Every chance she gets, she's showing off her skills.
Hey there!
So we're back! I've been out of commission because i've been updating my computer. The next couple of posts will bring you up to speed from last week.

Dilana's snow adventures
So we managed to break out of the house for a couple of minutes during this past snow storm. A friend of mine lent me a snowsuit and I wanted to try it out on Dilana. It's much too big for her, but it worked for my purpose.

In order to make my life a bit more manageable, I created a schedule of no more than 2 (household) tasks per day. Tuesdays include washing Dilana's hair. I know its Thursday now, but I figured I'd go back to Tuesday today...
She loves the water by the way. (and this tub needs to go back to the Davis' :c) (This weekend I promise!)
I only got one because my camera died...

Snow = Time with Daddy
Dilana has enjoyed this snowy weather. Particularly because she has been able to enjoy her daddy all to herself.
take a look...

and a hat to match!
So a while back, I made Dilana a scarf. Ever since then, i've been trying to teach myself how to make a hat. I found a youtube video that showed me how to make a hat. I started two days ago and I finished it today. I was so excited that I was picking up on how to do it that I forgot to take a picture of the very beginning stages...oh well. This is what I have!

daddy's girl
Watching her dad with the remote has spawned an intense desire for Dilana to have the remote. She would devite all of her energy to migrating over to its location and attempting to steal it. We recently gave her a remote that had stopped working (but looks exactly the same) and now she has NO interest. She plays with it for 10 seconds and then puts it down. Go figure...

boots!
Dilana got the cutest little boots from her cousins Cammie & Ryan. They are still a little big on her but I figured i'd put them on anyways!

play time
Dilana is starting to enjoy stuffed animals--specifically two Christmas present s that she received. One is a rabbit from her Aunt and Uncle Davis and the other is from her Grammey. The dog speaks spanish and sings songs and the rabbit english. I snuck in some shots during playtime...She had a blast!!

Hangin out
Although she has not yet mastered crawling, Dilana has become very very busy. In her own way, she is able to migrate all over our living room getting into this and that. I have created a new evening hangout for her. She can roll and flip and play to her hearts content---even watch tv...all within the walls of the pack and play and I can sit right beside her on the floor :c) Knock yourself out little girl.

A beautiful January Day
I went outside to get the mail today and had to stay for a minute. I was just marveling at the wonderful gift of weather that we have received in the midst of the winter. It was so pleasant out with the sunshining and a warm breeze... it ended with a hail and lightning storm but it was simply wonderful while it lasted.
...and after enjoying the weather, someone wanted to enjoy my computer!

Josiah's birthday
Yesterday, our godson Josiah had his first birthday party at a moonbounce place. It was really nice with different moon bounce stations all over. He seemed to be having a good time. We weren't able to stay for long because Dilana was due for a nap. I was glad that we had a chance to stop by...
Salvation
Today was the first women's bible study session of the year. Pastor Ingrid began it with an interesting tale:
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he rose his voice to his father and said "with all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realised his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt. 7:11, "And if ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,how much more shall your Heavenly Father which is in
Heaven, give to those who ask Him?"
As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because we can't see past our own desires?
She used this interesting story as a prelude to a conversation about salvation, a theme that is all too rare in this day and age. I've come to hear about salvation many a times, but today it finally registered itself in a clever sort of way in mind...
It turns out that, we were taken as ransom into sin after Adam and Eve. Just as one pays a ransom to redeem a loved one, God paid that ransom in order to release us through the sacrificing of His Son Jesus, who was without sin---thus we become saved by faith of this reality.
Now isn't that just a deal breaker!
